Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (177ðC) or prepare your grill for indirect medium heat.
  2. 2
    Allow the baked potatoes to cool just enough to handle, then slice each one in half lengthwise.
  3. 3
    Carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin border to create sturdy shells, and place the shells on a baking sheet or grill-safe pan.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, softened cream cheese, sour cream, half of the chopped green onions, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5
    Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or whisk until it is light, fluffy, and smooth.
  6. 6
    Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  7. 7
    Spoon the creamy potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly for a generous presentation.
  8. 8
    Top each stuffed potato with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the rest of the chopped green onions.
  9. 9
    Lightly sprinkle paprika over the top for color and a hint of smokiness.
  10. 10
    Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, or grill for about 15 minutes until heated through and the edges are slightly charred.
